Drop into the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery this Spring
and Experience the Wonder of Food, Nature and Woodcarving!
In Cuisine & Country
we see that food is
absolutely essential to
our existence and is
an almost boundless
source of inspiration
– relishing produce,
preparing a meal,
sharing a meal, a
picnic, slow food,
fast food, drinking
and feasting. Artists
on display include
Margaret Preston, John
Olsen, William Dobell,
Herbert Badham, Brett
Whiteley, Yirawala,
Fred Williams, Emily
Kngwarreye, Cressida Campbell, Jeff Carter,
Yvonne Koolmatrie, Anne Zahalka, Kerry Trapnell,
Ivan Durrant, Garry Shead, David Keeling, Euan
MacLeod and Ben Quilty. The exhibition consists
of over 90 works by 50 artists – historic, modernist
and contemporary – and includes paintings,
graphics, photography and sculptural installations.
Later in the year we have two exhibitions that
focus on and respond to our natural environment.
Don’t miss Janet Dawson Survey, a Bathurst
Regional Art Gallery travelling exhibition and
Devilbend 2007, an MPRG exhibition, showing
from 30 October to 2 December.
Enjoy a free guided tour of these exhibitions at
3pm on Wednesdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
